-"Fourth round, and our chance to tie against the gods." - Blake announced. - "We cannot lose this fight."

-"If we were to, we would be back at were we started." - Pyrrha said with a nervous tone.

-"Of course we will not lose, we are talking about a Schnee here." - Weiss said with an arrogant tone. - "I assure that if anything this is gonna be the most amazing win in this tournament."

-"I thought we had gotten rid of arrogant Weiss." - Yang whispered to Ruby.

-"I think that seeing her famly fight in this tournament flipped her switch." - Ruby whispered back.

The city of London was the first thing shown to the audience and then the obscured faces of those who during this fight would be enemies.

-"THE WOMAN WHO ASCENDED TO GODHOOD, WREATHED IN GLORY AS A SHINNING BEACON OF JUSTICE, NOW GOES HEAD TO HEAD WITH THE MOST CORRUPT EVIL HUMANITY COULD DRAW FROM THE VOID!" - Both face were shown closer the face of Hracles seemed to be hidden by darkness, but it was clear her expression was one of seriousness, infront of her Jack's expression was hidden as well, his face refusing to show any emotion. - "TRULY THIS BATTLE IS OF JUSTICE VS EVIL! NOBODY CAN PREDICT HOW THIS BATTLE WILL UNFILD!"

-"Wait, woman who ascended to godhood?" - Ironwood repeated the title that had been given to Heracles.

-"So she was a human that later became a goddess." - Ozpin muttered to himself. - "With the title of demigoddess, I assumed she was the daughter of a human and a god."

-"To be fair, I assumed most of us thought the same." - Glynda said while looking around.

The screen changed the scene once again, this time it was showing one of the multiple monitors that both humans and gods had been administered with in order to watch the fight. Heracles was looking at the place were the camera would be, an expression of incredible anger being the first thing to be seen on her face.

-"She is mad." - Qrow said while flinching a little, generally seeing his sister mad would bring him some joy, but right now it only caused him to flinch due to the fairy compassionate this other version of her was showing.

-"And even after all that talk about her wishing luck" - Roman said with a small while shaking his head slowly.

-"I think I know why she is reacting that way." - Cinder said with satisfaction.

And the one person in the receiving end of her furious glare was right now watching a big monitor and her response was to smile.

-"S-Sister... I think that Sister Heracles is really glaring at you right now..." - Velvet warned her oldest sister with a shaky voice.

-"If she were to win she would definitly resent me." - Salem said.

In response the small small that Salem was wearing simply gre in size.

-'...Why?' - Heracles thought while gritting her teeth in anger. - "To date, all of the men representing humanity have been worthy. Sun, Tai, Jaune Arc... worthy enough to shake the hearts of us gods to out core...'

-"Hey..." - Raven said suddenly her attention skiping. - "She is right, the previous fighters were warriors, this is... just a cowardly murderer!"

-"And the first thing you're focusing at is your pride." - Qrow said with sigh.

-"Of course I do! And by her reaction it's obvious she is thinking the same." - Raven smarled at her brother in anger.

-'And yet that man... is to be my opponent!?' - She thought with an intense amount of anger, Jack simply looked at her with a neutral expression almost as if wondering why wasn't she attacking. - 'A man that toyed with the lives of innocent women... scum dredged from the pits of the underworld!?'

-"So she is mad her opponent isn't someone with honor?" - Ruby wondered by her reactions.

-"It would seem so Ms. Rose." - Oobleck answered. - "It has nothing to do with the the strenght of her opponent but with the morale her posses."

The anger that Heracles was feeling right now was so great that multiple veins all over her body began to become visible, their constant thumping being the only noise in the arena. Heracle's furious expression was shown, her kind eyes overflowing with anger.

-"Why..." - Heracles said before shouting with everything she had. - "DON'T FUCK WITH ME! SALEM!"

-"If her intetion was for Heracles to hate her then she achived it." - Roman said surprise at the shout the woman had let out.

-"I really don't think that is her intetion." - Emerald said while looking at the scene.

-"And her intetion is?" - Mercury asked the girl.

-"Hey, only because I know what isn't her intention, it does not mean that I know what her actual intention is." - Emerald said to the assassin.

We are back to seeing the reactions of multiple people, every single one of them looking at the monitors with attention.

-"A serial killer is supposed to represent us?" - A man in the audience voiced his concerns.

-"I don't know which side to root for." - Another man admitted.

-"Even if he is a killer you should cheer for us." - Salem told the human with anger. - "The survivance of humanity is on the line."

-"Why are they so mad about it?" - Ruby asked in confusion. - "Wasn't Sun a killer as well?"

-"Well, yeah." - Qrow said. - "But he was a-"

-"He was a soldier." - Ironwood finished Qrow's comment. - "It was his job to fight and kill, a lot of people resent soldiers and that's understandable, but for others those same soldiers are heroes."

-"This man is a serial killer." - Clover continued the general's explanation. - "He killed defenseless people, while Sun seemed to only care about killing strong people he found in the battlefield and only in the battlefield."

-"Plus, OG Sun apparently had a code and respect for his opponents, if the comment he made during his fight against OG Nora is any indication." - Harriet finished.

-"Besides, who even was this "Jack the Ripper" fellow anyway?" - Another man asked.

-"Did this guy missed the presentation?" - Weiss asked in frustation.

-"Jack the Ripper... history's darkest serial killer." - A man smoking a pipe began to give an explanation to the audiencel. - "During the second half of the 19th century, in the slums of London City, a sharp object was used to take the lives of more then five prostitutes... London's metropolitan police force swore on htei pride that they would find the culprint . And yet they couldn't find hide nor hair of the killer." - The man was revealed to be sitting on a very elegant chair.

-"A little bit more information about him." - Willow said with a frown, the more they talked about this Jack the Ripper the more he deviated from the image he had in her mind about her father. She knew that being a completely different version of him was a good reason, but it felt a piece was missing in the puzzle.

-"Indeed... this was a mystery so profund that not even my Sherlock could unravel the truth." - The smoking man admitted with shame.

-"His Sherlock?" - Cinder asked in confusion.

-"Y-You..." - The reported seen before looked at the smoking man with suprise. - "Are you..."

NOT EVEN THE WORLD'S SHARPEST MYSTERY NOVELIST COULD SOLVE IT... DESPITE DEDICATING HIS LIFE TO THE PURSUIT OF JACK THE RIPPER, IT ENDED WITHOUT BEARING ANY FRUIT...

-"Mystery novelist?" - Whitley said with dissapointment.

-"I expected him to be somekind of super detective or something like that." - Oscar said.

-"Lame." - Ruby said.

-"...Indeed that is..." - The man said while a card appeard besides his head reading. "CONAN DOYLE (NOVELIST)|AUTHOR OF THE SHERLOCK HOLMES SERIES." - "Jack the Ripper.

Heracles kept looking at Jack with a displeased face before saying. - "I'm shall warn you now... bow down and accept defeat." - Heracles said but Jack kept being unresponsive. - "If you do that, then I swear that I will make Ozpin accept it. And you can be saved from Nfilhel."

-"I undestand she thinks this is the correct thing to do." - Salem said while looking at Heracles. - "But does she truly believe we're just gonna give up?"

-"My sister has never been known for being intelligent." - Qrow admitted, before being punched in the shoulder by Raven.

-"I wonder how insistant she is gonna be with that offer." - Roman said while smoking a cigar.

-"I do not relish senseless killing..." - Heracles said while increasing the grip on her mace. - "But you're a special case!"

Jack looked at the woman, before making a small bow to her. - "Lady... allow me to express my gratitude. Both for accepting this arena, and for your consideration..." - Jack said while maintaining a formal tone. - "However... unfortunately, I cannot accept."

Both Jaques and Willow looked at Jack with confused expressions, this wasn't Nichola's voice, it was close but it wasn't it. It was like hearing a recording of your own voice after contantly hearing to yourself talking. Similat but not quite there.

-"Who are you?" - Willow mumbled while looking at the man in the screen.

-"What...?" - Heracles asked not so much in confusion as in frustation.

-"No matter the odds..." - Jack directed his hands to his back. - "I shall always accept a duel..." - It was relieved that behind the cape her was carrying a gigantic blade. - "For that..." - The image panned out to show that Jaune had a twin blade in his other hand. - "Is the true essence of a gentleman."

-"Those swords look akward." - Jaune said while looking at the hilts of the blades.

-"They are not swords." - Ruby corrected Jaune.

His words however did nothing, the ire that Heracles was expressing while looking at him hadn't been lessened.

-"Another dual-wielding swordman?" - A human said while looking at Jack's weapons.

-"No... those are..." - Another human began to correct the previosu human.

-"Allow me to introduce you..." - Jack then combined both blades, forming a giant pair of scissors. - "This is my Volund."

-"Oooooh." - Tyrian said while looking at the weapon. - "Fancy."

-"It looks like and akward weapon to fight with." - Hazel judge while looking at it.

-"Those scissors are... weird." - Velvet said, she didn't knew why but the scissors looked different than any other Volund they have seen before.

-"Scissors...!" - A human exclaimed while looking at the blade.

-"How omninous..." - Another human a woman this time said while covering her mouth in horror.

-"A fitting weapon." - Doyle said with a worried expression. - "For such a dangerous man..."

-"What a bunch of pushovers." - Roman said after hearing the shouts of the humans.

Jack then began to spin his weapon throught the air, making show of his ability with it.

-"How exquisite..." - Jack while walking towards a street light. - "So this is a divine weapon..."

-"He is handling it pretty good." - Salem admitted.

-"It seems he overcame the problem you found." - Watts told Hazel while smiling, causing the bigger man grunt in response.

Jack then swung his weapon against the street light, the scissors going cleanly throught the object for a few seconds nothing happened, but then a mark indicating the tragectory of the attack appeared some steam was coming out of it.

-"At least we know he has combat skills." - Qrow said while looking at the fallen street lamp, the gods knew it took him a long time to learn how to makea cut like that one.

-"He doesn't look like the athletic kinda person." - Cinder commented while examining the man's body. - "Maybe the Volund allows him to cut through anything?"

-"It's a possibility." - Watts admitted reluctantly.

The street light fell to the ground right infront of Heracles yet the Demigoddess refused to flinch or comment to the threat.

-"I could tear... anything in existance to pieces..." - Jack said while embracing the scissors.

-"Please never use that tone again." - Weiss said, she refused to hear that tone come out of her grandfather's mouth.

-"Giant scissors, huh?" - Hei commented while looking at the stange weapon, he was standing behind a couch that Ozpin had decided to sit on acting as somekind of guard. - "Another strange weapon..."

-"Certanly weird, wonder if those were the weapons he used while alive." - Junior said while looking at the scissors. - "Even then, why does he use them? They look diffcult to hide in case the police were to make an inspectation."

-"Symbolism?" - Militia proposed.

-"Emotional attachment?" - Melanie proposed on her own.

-"Indeed..." - Oobleck agreed, stading besides Hei, acting as a second guard.

-"Oh..." - Emerald said while playing with a feather that she took from the pillow she was hugging.

-"Did she noticed something?" - Mercury asked in a whisper.

Both Heracles and Jack kept looking at each other, Heracles was crounching a little in order to adopt a fighting position, Jack meanwhile was stading there scissors half open as if indicating that he was ready to fight.

-"The first exchange of blows is about to start." - Clover said with a tense tone.

-"The moment both audiences have been waiting for." - Tyrian sadi on his own a smile in his face.

-"...Very well..." - Heracles said while looking at Jack straight to the eye. - "If that is what you've decided..." - Heracles pointed a herself with her thumb. - "Then I'll answer your resolve with all my might!"

-"Show her how pathetic was that desicion." - Raven commented with anger, she disliked her original but the thing she disliked the most were those fake manners of the man.

-"She is really showing honor, huh?" - Tai said with a surprise expression, sincerly he was expecting Heracles to be the kind of person to lie while hiding behind an honorable exterior.

Jack in that moment, prepared himself grabbed his hat and... ran away!

-"Eh?" - Raven said before her face adopted an incredibly crimson tone. - "Where are you going you fucker!? You fucking coward, to run away like that is a sign of weakness!"

-'You're one to talk.' - Tai and Yang thought with a bit of anger.

-"It's a street brawl." - Junior said while looking at Raven. - "Here the person who wins isn't the strongest but the one that plays the dirtiest."

-"...Huh?" - Heracles said with a confused expression as she watch Jack run.

-"HE... HE'S MADE A RUN FOR IT!" - Port exclaimed in disbelief, the monitors were showing Jack make a turn in a corner during his retreat. - "JACK HAS FLED RIGHT BEFORE OPPONENT'S EYES!?"

-"That sounds about right~." - Emerald said between laughs at the sight of the frozen woman.

-"And now she will chase without thinking if there is a trap." - Emerald said while smiling.

-"...He...fled?" - Heracles said in disbelief. Just for her expression to changed into an angry one, her face was now dyed crimson due to the fury she was feeling. - "Hold it!" - She exclaimed while chasing after the man.

-"Called it." - Emerald said.

-"Doesn't this man have any honour!?" - Raven screamed with fury, causing Qrow to stare at her.

-"You mean the serial killer that likes to kill prostitutes?" - Tyrian said while pointing at Jack.

-"For a criminal that which matters is the style and the manners we have, nothing else." - Roman said, mentally laughing at the expression both women shared.

After giving chase to the man for a few secons, Heracles came to a halt when she saw a small trail of steam come out of one of the many alleways.

-"Steam?" - Goodwitch said with small frown.

She slowly began to turn a corner the sound of cermaic clashing against each other could be heard with clarity.

-"What are you playing at?" - Heracles asked while looking the man .

The screen shifted in order to shown a bizarre sight, Jack was sitting in the extirior of a coffee shop pouring himself a cup of tea using a tea set that he got from not even god knows where.

-"...That's a pretty nice cafe." - Was the only thing Ren thought of saying while looking at the establishment.

-"Where did he get the tea?" - Ruby asked with a confused tone.

-"He is british." - Salt Frog said.

-"Why are you saying that as if it were to explain everything?" - Whitley asked while looking at Salt Frog who decided that the conversation had ended.

-"My sincerest apologies." - Jack said while looking at the demigodess. - "It is rather close to tea time, after all." - Jack explained while pulling out a hand clock.

-"He has a time dedicated solely to drinking tea?" - Qrow asked, he wasn't one to judge after all he had his happy hour from time to time... and by time to time he meant at least nine times during his free days.

Jack lifted his cup of tea in Heracle's direction almost as if making an offer.

-"Though you may be a soldier, a serving of tea is a sample of the gentleman." - Jack said while still offering the tea. - "Would you like to take a short break, dear Lady?"

-"We haven't even started to fight yet!" - Raven exclaimed with anger, what in the actual fuck was this killer thinking!?

-"To resolve the conflict with nothing but words, what a gentleman." - Roman said in an attempt to piss off Raven even more, besides him and the moment he said gentleman Neo began to fan herself with her hand with a mocking smile.

-"Hmmm, what did he do?" - Watts said while looking all around the place.

-"..." - Heracles stared at Jack with an unamused look. - "Draw your weapon..."

-"How rude." - Tyrian said with a fake tone of having been insulted.

-"It is darjeeling of the finest quality, you see~" - Jack said almost as if he was goading her into a trap, as if to add isult he took a small sniff of the tea. - "My~"

-"...Now I want some darjeeling." - Whitley muttered while ignoring the sound Yang's mom was doing while gritting her teeth.

-"You bastard..." - Heracles said, walking with an angry pace towards the man, but she suddenly stopped her exression denoting some surprise.

-"Wha- Hey! Why aren't you mauling him to Oumdamn death!?" - Raven screamed in a fury, was her other really that stupid to give him a second to drink the fucking tea!?

Right infront of her eyes, in the same level as them infact, there was a cable a trap set up by Jack during his escape. - "This is..."

-"A trap." - Roman said while smiling. - "An a classic at that." - The wire was one of his and Neo's favourites, he would use it at the level of the feet to make guards and others entering the room fall and Neo would put it at neck level, for Auraless people the results were either clean or open but with some tissue left.

-"If that was you, you would have los an eye or some shit." - Qrow said, chastating the woman known as his sister.

-"Tch." - Raven answered, if that was her, her Aura and maiden powers would have blocked the rope. She was also mad at the trap, only weak people used them and she would never lose to someone that pathetic.

-"Oops..." - Jack said tilting his hat a little in order to hide his features.

-"...Tsk." - Heracles said with anger. - "A petty trick." - She said before ripping the wire off.

-"We can share something." - Raven admitted with an angry expression.

Just to be met with a shower of knives, falling towards her after being set off.

-"When did he time to put all of them?" - Kali said with a surprised tone.

-"IT'S TRAP!?" - Port exclaimed while looking at the projectiles.

Heracles looked at the knives in her expression not a single ounce of worry or fear could be seen. Jack was looking at the goddess an attentive expression imprinted in his face.

-"She doesn't look worried." - Jaques said, was the woman stupid?

-"The Volund are the scissors, not the knives." - Sienna reminded the executive. - "In other words..."

Heracles extended her arms, accpting the knives which impacted all over her body, her neck, her chest, her abdomen and her face but even though not a single one of the weapons missed all of them bounced off of her body, the blade being ruined at the moment of impact.

-"Normal weapons mean jack shit." - Adam said while giving a satisfactory smile.

-"Wait a... But they said the reason the humans needed a Volund was because they couldn't fight against divine weapons." - Ruby said while looking at Salt Frog.

-"No, that's the conclusion you all arrived by yourself." - Salt Frog said. - "The reality is that human weapons cannot harm gods, nor clash against divine constructes, but if a human were to engage into hand to hand combat it would all depend in the human's strenght."

-"So, fightitng with weapons you need to a Volund but in hand to hand combat it all comes to your ability?" - Cinder summarized she began to smile, just for said smile to fall. - 'Why do I still believe I would have a shadow of a chance?'

-"Oho~" - Jack said looking at the bent knives sprawled all over the floor.

-"Fool..." - Heracles said while holding one of the knives. - "...Didn't Salem tell you? The likes of human weapons won't even scratch the body of a God!" - She exclaimed while crushing the knife making it into fine powder.

-"I'm sure I did which makes me ask: Why!?" - Salem exclaimed with frustation.

-"He is hiding something." - Whitley commented, to him the scissors, the traps and the attitude were off as if something was different. He also was glaring at Jack in to different places his hidden eye and his...

In response Jack took a sip of tea, and then letting out a comfortable breath. - "Why if we don't try it..." - Jack began while looking at his cup of tea. - "We shall never know will we...? Lady..."

-"Don't forget the three meter mass of muscles is right besides you." - Qrow said while glaring at the man.

Heracles was now standing right besides Jack, looming over him. When Jack turned his head in her direction the sight that met him was that of Heracles lifting her mace, ready to crush the human.

-"Begone." - Heracles said.

-"Dodge!" - Nora exclaimed.

-"Certanly." - Jack responded without showing any sign of worry.

And then he puller out a gun from inside his coat, suprising Heracles due to the sudden weapon.

-"Oh shit, he is packing heat!" - Jaune exclaimed with surprise.

-"But guns are still human weapon, it would not work." - Ruby said with a slightly confused tone.

-"Well, there is another type of gun he could use." - Ironwood said while putting a hand on his chin.

-"JACK... HAS DRAWN A GUN FROM HIS CLOAK!" - Port exclaimed while looking at the weapon.

But Jack didn't shoot in Heracles's direction, instead he decided to shoot upwards.

-"It seems you were correct sir." - Harriet said after the shot.

The bullet was shown in more detail at the base of it there was a cable, after flying thorught the air for a few more seconds the bullet began to break extending as if it was a group of hooks, and then it landed on the top of one of the many buildings.

-"He must be preparing another trap." - Winter said, she just like Velvet felt that there was something wrong with the scissors, but for now she decided to ignore it.

-"An ambush, it's the only thing he could do with the type of weapon that was given to him." - Marrow said with an almost unconvinced tone for the chanced of said tactic working.

The cable that tensed an suddenly Jack was shot up and then he pulled out another hook gun and shot it towards another building and taking advantage of the building he had used before for impulse to go faster. Heracles could only stare at the figure of Jack swinging through the buildings.

-"If he wasn't running away it would be pretty cool." - Oscar admitted.

-"I think it's cool." - Whitley complained.

-"He ran again..." - Velvet said with some frustation.

Heracles's grip on her mace increased. - "Quit your pitiful struggling..." - Heracles said while beginning to squat. She began to apply even more force, destroying the street she was on, and then she jumped.

-"And now she reduced the uses the hook has." - Goodwitch said with frustation, of what use was hook that wasn't a divine weapon, if it wasn't used to escape.

After hearing the sound of the floor basically exploding Jack turned his head to look at Heracles basically shooting herself as a rocket in his direction.

Finally Heracles reached him, and she rose her mace

-"He needs to be careful." - Qrow said. - "With no footing the clash is gonna fully depend of physical strenght."

-"And compared to her..." - Tai said with a worried tone.

-"WHOOOOAAAAA!" - Heracles exclaimed while she prepared to attack.

In response Jack let go of the gun and pulled out his scissors, opening them in order to block the attack and so he did. Jack struggled against Hercles while trying to use his weapon to cut the mace.

-"...What is that cracking sound?" - Velvet asked, her ears moving a little.

-"Oh..." - Blake said, she being able to hear it as well.

-"Yes!" - Adam cheered, he had heard that noise a lot of times (mainly being him who caused it) and he knew that the battle was gonna end up with a crushed Schnee.

And then... the scissors broke, they exploded into pieces.

-"W-What?" - Winter said with horror. - "How could..."

-"This has to be a joke." - Junior said with a frustated expresssion. - "We already lost, and even then we didn't even managed to land a single good hit."

Raven simply smiled, even if it humanity lost this round. She was satisfied her strenght was proven once again, she wasn't really all that worried, they wpuld still have the oppotunity for victory but this loss would teach the Valkyrie to choose actually strong people.

-'There is something wrong here.' - Cinder thought. - 'How coul've a Volund be broken by her but not against the Nordic one, she was even called the strongest god.'

Humans and Gods looked in shock at the sudden explosion of the weapon. The only person that didn't seem a little bit surprised was Hei that smiled at the sight of the approching victory.

Jack was silent, looking at the broken handles that his hands were still holding. As if to add more misfortune, Jack crashed finally landed, landing on a box that silightly cushioning his fall.

Worry began to spread within the room, the horror at the death of the Valkyrie, the dread of knowing that without the Volund the fight was lost, and the worry for the future if they were to lost the fight.

But even then there were some that simply couldn't help but have a different opion.

Adam who awaited with excitment the death of the Schnee, Raven who watched in calm as her other prepared to win, Cinder who was awaiting for the answer to her question, Velvet who had began to see through Jack's self and...

-'Why am I smiling?' - Whitley thought, the moment the Volund had been broken his expression had morphed into a smile for a moment a voice in his head had told him 'Just a little more.'

-'So... this is why you chose him.' - Salem thought a cruel smile starting to form.

-"W-WHAT'S THIS!?" - Port exclaimed shocked at the short duration of the fight. - "IN AN INSTANT, HERACLES..." - The screen showed a close up of Jack holding the broken pieces of his Volund. - "SHATTERED THE SCISSORS OF JACK THE RIPPER!"

-"Ah..." - Jack said while looking at the pieces that were breaking even more.

-"Don't just "Ah" us! Do something!" - Harriet screamed in desperation. - "Show some kind of super strenght, use a magic eye, use a super technique!"

-"You just listed the abilities of the previous fighters." - Vine said.

-"I'm desperate!"

-"AAAAAAAH!" - A human screamed at the scene.

-"I knew choosing that guy was a bad idea!" - A man shouted in anguish and anger.

-"For a very different reason." - Weiss commented, even now she was gonna denfend her grandpa.

Meanwhile Salem and Velvet kept silence, while the youngest sister holded a tense expression, Salem's face was hidden by shadows.

-"...It's over." - Heracles declared while standing over Jack.

-"Shit! Run away!" - Roman said with a hurry.

Jack in an attempt to escape gave a step back, just to end up hitting a wall. As he looked around, Jack began to slide down the wall.

-"Shit, shit, shit, shit." - Militia repeated over and over again, her eyes flying throught the screen.

-"You're kidding me!" - Melanie exclaimed while doing the same as her sister. - "There's no way, that there is no escape route."

-"A shame he doesn't have a Neo." - Roman joked, but even then the tesion he was feeling was almost palpable. That didn't stopped Neo to look arrogant though.

In desperation, Jack began to search the insides of his coat, slowly gathering small weapons.

-"How many times must I tell you..." - Heracles said with an annoyed tone. - "Human weapons will not..."

But Jack didn't care, he was holding in his hands as many small knives as he could. - "Ugh... Tch!" - And threw them at Heracles in act of pure desperation.

-"While understandable, desperation is not something you have to relay on." - Ozpin said in tension and wishing that the man found a way to escape.

-"Especially if it's gonna be something as useless and using a weapon that doesn't work." - Watts said with an annoyed expression.

-"HE'S FLAILING IN DESPAIR!" - Port shouted the moment Jack threw his remaining weapons. - "JACK HAS THROWN HIS KNIVES AS A LAST DITCH EFFORT!"

And in response Heracles leapt in Jack's direction, her weapon ready and her tone showing she was ready to take the knives head on. - "It's useless!" - Heracles shouted.

But the worried humans and the excited gods fell in silence the moment a very familiar sound was heard, a sound that had been heard in the previous round and in the first round.

-"Wha..." - Ruby said her mouth hanging open.

Silence fell in the room, the sudden sound of flesh being pirced had surprised every single one of the attentdants except for one person.

-"It's show time." - Salem said with a satisfied expression.

-"Wha..." - Hei said with a worried and confused expression, besides him Oobleck was sporting a pretty similar one.

Both Ozpin and Yang's expression were shocked the surprise the sight in the monitors had caused in them was without a shadow of a doubt incredible. But both, their shock and surpise combined were nothig compared to the face Emerald was making right now.

Even with the tense ambiance Mercury couldn't help but snort a little at the expression the original Emerald was sporting right now. Causing the Emerald sitting besides him to deliever a punch in the arm.

The screen shifted sights, it showed a sinlg e portion of floor, and then a small flow of blodd painting the gray street into dark red.

-"He actually..." - Clover said surprise clear in his face.

Doyle could only stare in horro at the situation, his entire body was frozen, so he couldn't even take a smoke to calm his nerves.

-"W-WHAT IS THIS...!?" - Port screamed in a similat with a similar expression as the other Gods. - "NO... THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!"

On the exposed sections of her chest, all over her arms, on her neck and on her abdomen. Those were the places, those were the places in twhich the trown knives had been thrown and landed on, every single knife had created a small injury were a blood poured out of.

-"But his divine weapon was broken." - Blake said while trying to undestand what happened.

-'It's pretty obvious, isn't it?' - Neo signed (Roman had to call for Blake's attention). - 'He lied.'

-"...Differently than the other humans, he entered with an strategy already in mind." - Cinder muttered with some realization.

-"I mean... I kinda had a strategy." - Sun whispered, he really wasn't sure if you could call swing Randgriz and call it a day was a plan, but he would take it.

-"THE KNIVES OF HUMANITY HAVE MANAGED TO PIERCE HERACLES' MUSCULAR FRAME!?" - Port shouted in confusion, while Heracles looked at her bleeding body.

In an attempt to say somthing, Heracles achived nothing more than to cough some blood, to her surprise the damge had also caused a small bleeding in her nose.

-"The knives must have hit some of the vitals." - Pyrrha said while looking at the place where they landed. - "Or at least I think so, I don't know a lot about godly anatomy."

-"Wh..." - Heracles began to talk but there was some obvious effort into doing so.

-"Hm?" - Jack hummed a little while fixing his hat, his eyes were hidden by the shadow it was producing.

-"...Why?" - Heracles said with effort, she had to cover the injury on the neck in order to stop herlsef from collapsing due to blood loss.

-"Welcome to the party." - Mercury said with widen eyes.

-"So the knives were divine weapons all along." - Qrow said with squinted eyes. - "But what happened with the ones that he used in the trap?"

-"Decoys, a manouver to make her lower her guard." - Ozpin guessed.

-"Why you ask?" - Jack said while getting himself back on his feet. - "I believed that I informed you earlier... that my Volund was those scissors, yes?" - He said while cleaning himself from the dust that had fallen on him.

-"Three... two... one..." - Roman said loweing a finger each time he said a number, before making a motion that indicated the scene to continue.

-"However... that was a lie." - Jacl declared, his smile being projected in every monitor.

Heracles' surprise was enough to summarize the entire reactions of the audience, her eyes had widened and she had become unable to utter a word her expression could one be summarzed in one simple word: surprise.

-"Little, treacherous fuck... once I get my damn hands on you." - Raven muttered while making threatening motions.

-"He really has been playing her from the beginning." - Watts said with a wide smile. - "Not only it is a battle of good against evil, but a battle of minds against brawn"

-"Come on you gorilla of a woman! Bludge him to godamn death!" - Adam complained not noticing the small tick that appeared in Raven's eye the moment gorilla was said.

-"Oh..." - Oobleck said while besides him, Hei simply had tensed up.

-"Kuku~" - Emerald laughed with some amusement. - "Nice one~"

-"Surprised she is having such a nice reaction." - Roman said with widen eyes.

-"She is the goddess of mischief, she has to praise good one when she sees it." - Junior said with crossed arms.

-"Although I must say for you to fall into a simple trap as that..." - Jack said while remembering the frist trap, the one were knives fell all over Heracles' body. - "You must have had quite the fortunate upbringing, no?"

-"...I'm gonna kill him slowly." - Raven said for the first time in her life feeling genuine and pure hatred towards an individual.

-"If that didn't cover me as well, I would be laughing my ass off." - Qrow said with some frustation.

Heracles' wanted to insult him so badly, but she decided to contain herself and continue to find the man's tricks. - "Your true Volund... was these knives?"

-"...Allow me to show you my true Volund." - Jack said while slipping his hands into the pouch that was on his hip.

-"So he has kept it hidden." - Ozpin said his attention being fully in the pouch.

-'No it has been in plain sight, in fact it was shown right now.' - Whitley couldn't help but think, he didn't even understood it, it was as if he should have known that by sheer instinct.

-"The sneaky little." - Raven said, she wanted to see the weapon already.

From the puch he pulled two knives, then three more, until he ended up pulling two strings both of them covered by over a dozen of knives. The sheer quintity of daggers that the pouch contained was enogh to surprise the Yang, and the pair of brothers known as Hei and Oobleck.

-"Which one is it!?" - Both Huginn and Muninn exclaimed with surpise.

-"Maybe it's the string?" - Cardin suggested.

-"Right a string that grows knives as some kind of magical tree." - Fox said with a mocking tone. - "It must be obvious, a child could get it right!"

-"A pretty noce looking Volund by the way." - Coco admitted while checking the accessory.

-"It is this Pouch of Divine Weapon Creation!" - Jack declared with pride while the screen showed a close up of the Pouch."

-"POUCH!?" - Port exclaimed with surprise his eyes wide open.

-"A magical puch where he can pull whatever he wants." - Tai said with widen eyes. - "Even I have to admit that seems unfair."

-"Sadly I am incapable of forming weapons larger of the Pouch itself." - Jack explained, taking one of the many knives the pouch had created, and touching the tip in order to verify the sharpness of the weapon. - "Rather than being ready-made, everything I use is made-to-order."

-"So the weapon forces him to be creative." - Watts said while playing with his moustache. - "Instead of simply swinggin around he has to come up with traps in the fly in order to tmake them succesful."

-"Magnificent." - Tyrian said with glee. - "So many different ways to end the fight, so many different articles to use before the fight ends, I'm sure this is gonna be my favourite match!"

"For that is the true essence of a gentleman." - Jack said holding a blade between each finger and crossing his arms, his expression was one of seriousness.

-"Oh... wow..." - One of the humans said, his reactions wasn't alone.

-"That's amazing..." - Another human said and it seemed that this sentiment was being shared between all oh humanity.

-"Hmph." - Roman said while giving an amused smile. - "Where are your cries of rejection now you suckers!"

-"You coward!" - One of the childs that were in the side of the gods exclaimed.

-"I knew it!" - An adult god exclaimed with anger. - "Humanity's very existance is a sin!"

-'Rules: Fight to the death. Fight one on one.' - Neo signed before looking at her sign. - 'There doesn't seem to be a rules against unconvencional weapons.' - She signed while holding a macabre smile.

In the balcony of the Valkyries, both sister were silent while watching the monitors with an intense silence.

-"I... I don't quite understand." - Velvet said with a forceful and fearful tone almost as is she dind't want to know the answer to the question. - "Why... why did you choose that man?"

-"Because she knew the fight would be serious." - Salem said with a proud smile. - "If she had chosen any other, I can assure you she would have tried to be more insistent in the use of words."

-"Shouldn't our focus be in spilling as little blood as possible?" - Glynda said while glaring at the Queen of the Grimm.

-"We're fighting against gods, winning isn't just enough." - Salem said with despective tone. - "We need to send the message that humanity will no longer bow their head at every single request they posses."

-"Hate that small part of me agrees." - Winter muttered between gritted teeth.

-"...Velvet." - Salem talked to her sister while not separating her eyes from the fight. - "What's the one thing that humanity excels above the gods in...? Do you know?"

In response Velvet simply shook her head, her expression was still fearful almost as if desireing the question to remain unanswered.

-"..." - The Velvet in the theatre was silent as well, expecting the answer not with the desire to hear it but fear of what the answer could convey.

-"Hmph." - Salem smiled, a small one at that. - "It is... malice."

Salem's face then morphed into a maniacal grin, all of her teeth were fully shown and her yes were similar to spirals full of madness.

While the room fell in terror, no one was more terrified than Salem's own followers after all the only moment they had seen their mistress make such expression was when she came up with a new punishment.

-"*Shudder* I'm gonna have nightmares." - Ozpin said with a bit of a terrified expression.

This face absolutely terrified the girl, leaving her frozen and speechless.

And with that, Salem's normal smile returned her expression being as gentle as it was before.

-"The personification of that endless abyss shall bore into the soul of the most righteous god..." - Salem said, it was almost as if she was reciting a prophecy.

-"...Did she come up with that in the fly?" - Militia said breaking the tension Salem's expression had created.

-"It was good... a little corny but still pretty good." - Melanie said mentally rating it a seven but not saying the rating out loud for fear at the woman.

Jack's lips were on focus now, his previously stoic expression had changed into a small smile. - "Now... o mighty hero." - Jack said his voice being the only sound in the streets of the fake London.

-"Oh, this is definitly a fighter I can get behind." - Tyrian said with a maniacal smile.

-"Tremble before me." - Jack said the smile of a killer and the eyes of a maniac were at the sight of everyone ready to be seen by everyone.
